So I purchased a Carson Zorb magnifier...Awesome investment. I have found alot more rpms and such than ever. I am officially an addict  . Now I would like to know from the experts if I correctly labled my coin. Markers match. Here it is. Should I clean it up a bit or leave it?  |

Markers match to what? You didn't give a die number to check.

Looks to be CONECA RPM-015. Wexler is WRPM-015 and Coppercoins is 1MM-015.

Yeah...I was trying to get the OP to say that.
But now that the cat's out of the bag - it is 1960D-1MM-015.

Oh yeah...agreed. I didn't even see that statement.
Just for future reference - "cleaning up" coins is a very good way to ruin any value they have.

Sorry guys, I forgot to re-write what I came to the conclusion it was. I thought it was on the picture. 1960D-1MM-015. I'll get better at this and wont waste your time.  |

You are not wasting my time! I love seeing what others are finding. Good work on that one! I always get excited when I find a 1960-d - so many cool RPM's for that date.
I also agree that getting a good microscope is one of the best investments a variety searcher can make!

It's from the same die as my avatar. I've found a few of these.

The MM variety I want to find is 1960D 1MM-001. Thats my favorite MM variety. Even if I found one of a different year like that I would be happy.

Keep searching guys and it should happen! I have been fortunate to find two 1960D-1MM-001"s in circulation over the past year and a half along with several hundred (!) other 1960-D RPM's. If you have good optics and a bit of patients, its amazing what is still out there! The only trouble is trying to match all of them up to the actual die number on coppercoins! I have a huge bewildering pile of 1960-D's to go through, but they hurt my head every time I try to work on them. That's another reason why the RPM#1 is so cool - you have no doubt what it is the minute you find it!
Another really cool one that can still be found is the 1961-D over horizontal D. Keep searching and you will be rewarded!
